Wednesday evening treats Fantasy managers to four more Euro 2016 fixtures before the curtain comes down on the group stages.

First up at 5pm, all four teams in Group F have a chance of progressing to the final 16.

With a single goal from 49 attempts, profligate Portugal have done little to justify their place as pre-tournament favourites to top the group but know that a win against Hungary will be enough to earn them at least a runners-up spot.

Iceland and Austria do battle in the other fixture. Like Portugal, the latter arrived as one of the dark horses for the tournament but have been a major disappointment and failed to score in their opening two fixtures, managing just four efforts on target. Iceland, meanwhile, have registered just 12 attempts on goal thus far – a tally superior only to Sweden’s 11.

Given that the second-placed team in Group F will face England in the next round, the Three Lions will be keeping a keen eye on the results here.

Indeed, considering that the Group F winners square up the runners-up in Group E – which look likely to be Belgium – topping the table could prove a less appealing route into the knockout stages.

    1. Eden Hazardous

      Please just call him Ronaldo...

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But that's disgracing Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima's name.

      2. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Or worse

          You too, although I have a bad feeling about it!

      2. Davidinho
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Did the same last minute, go on Ronaldo!

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years

      Sometimes crazy wins

      1. VS10_

        Maybe I'm trying to make this WC work and getting too desperate, we'll see.

    3. Jazz!

      Switched from Hector (c) to KDB (c) here. Good luck to us!

  6. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    It doesn't matter how many players you have today, as long as the rest of your team does their job prior to today.

    Good luck everyone, and you too Nani.

    Crikey. Last minute check to find I'd not pressed the confirm button earlier....

    1. Thiga
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same thing happened to me on the last day of Matchday 1. Forgot to confirm substituting in Dragovic and he got a red card so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. 😉
      You'll do just fine.

    2. Debauchy

    Muller to KDB for (C)?

  10. Epic Fail

    Hasn't Martin Atkinson got a conflict of interest?

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Payback time for the winker incident

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He still around ?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Apparently so.

  11. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years

    Subbed Juanfran --> Giaccherini

    Twisted Hector --> KDB (C)

    Done !

    Fingers crossed, all the best lads!

      Guerreiro left on the Bench!

    M Sabitzer AGS at @ 5/1 seems to good to pass up.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Did you go through with your DDG Golden Glove bet?

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I did and there's some fierce competition for it. Spain will probably need to go all the way for him to pick it up outright.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Lloris & Neuer will be his main competition I reckon.

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, Neuer's already got 3 to his name, then there's like 6 of them on 2 each. Whoever wins it will need their team to go deep into the tournament, probably finishing at least runners up.

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Good luck! This bet was so criminally underpriced , you deserve to win. 🙂

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Do it , I would'nt . But when you get the feeling , why not. Keep it small

      Good luck GB

    • Lallana_
      • 12 Years

      Left Giaccherini on the bench. 2 pts seems better than 0! No guarantee he'll get a cleansheet if he starts either.

    • Costa's Counsellor

      If I offered you a Glastonbury ticket right now, would you take it?

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes , but need airfare also ?

      2. Hooky
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. Definitely better than being at home with 3 mental children!

        If it stays like this, we play Iceland. The trouble starts after that.
